Ascensioni in Brisbane da Alexander Jones

Had a bard (Alex) sitting up above the 12 playing guitar. Cool outing with good company!

Was out of action for 6 weeks, but linking the business bar 1 move after the breadloaf match was a real eye opener from the last time I tried it. The psyche is back for climbin’ bb!

Training going well! I think campus start is the go because the foot just doesn’t work for me. Potentially a send in a session or two. The psyche is back baby! I still think it should get an 8 but good at the grade for terrors.

Gawdayum. So the all points off could go. I’m not committing to the entire pull up because I can clear all the pads and land on the chill-out rock behind it. I think it could go in the future with more pads and bigger balls but like I’m flying 3-4m off this thing. Sick!

Sickkkk didnt need to cut. For my boy Liam. Idk wtf happened but i double palm pressed the mantle without the upper sloper. Panic instinct. V6 at least.

2 yrs later.

Pretty hard great climb. Will try again for sure.

Way better with smaller holds

Bad warmup

Always hard

It's hard pulling on to something you think is above your pay grade. It is mentally difficult knowing that every session you improve by 5-10% and that battle is what makes limit climbing worthwhile; fighting against the feeling that it cannot be done. Classic boulder.

Latched the deadpoint but didn't hold it. This thing goes bois!

Did a hold break? Got bagged by tim bahhaha. Found a really good left varient of this — mantle left side of arete. Micro pinch very cool.

Man this is sick. The move into the tiny 5mm pinch is mega cool, and moving up from there is amazing. Probable double digit climb at least. I can see it going for someone with strong fingers and powerful movement ability.

First move dialled -- falling on the second. Definitely a few sessions to go but I'm psyched. HARD sit check, sick crimp check, mega meat wrap check, big slapper to jug check check. Everything I like in a climb.

Tickled the hold! This thing is fucked.

Still stuck with the movement on the first move but pulled on from that position and sent bar start throw.

Questionable flash. Cool way to end the 10 hour white rock marathon. Im fucked.

Got the climb in two sections but struggling to link the match — lowpointed from there too. So cool.

Falling off the mantle. I think morning or night conditions would help but this thing is a heartbreaker!

Classic. After practicing the start move got it first shot.

Had three solid burns but was goofing the face section. It takes a lot of power out of you before the V5, making it pretty droppable. I much prefer the new beta with the broken holds kinda forcing that rose move that I usually skipped pre-break. Definitely can see it around V7/8. V8 seems fair I reckon. Needs more action!

Remembering top beta

This needs an upgrade for sure! So good tbh.

Did the crux a bunch before the wet topout

Pre rain

"the mantle will be fine in the rain"

yyyyeeeeuuus instant clean repeat to retrieve the draws. I told Nick I love taking whips, but not a single whip was whipped today -- pretty happy with that.

Yyeeeuuuuus. Bang on first shot.
